HAZARDS
Force drying is generally messy and noisy. You should wear a face mask and ear plugs. Use
dryers with as little motor noise as possible. You have to deal with air noise, but not motor
noise. You need to protect your hearing and your respiratory system. Never force dry an
animal that you have used a chemical dip on, this could be fatal to inhale.
Using Force drying to its full potential is very beneficial. Force drying is safe, fast, and is
less expensive. It saves human and electric energy. When a dog or cat will not permit force
drying, then cage drying may be necessary. If you are going to cage dry, there are several
precautions to take. Be sure cages are well ventilated so fresh air may pass through
continuously. Restricting air flow will suffocate the animal and constant heat will burn their
skin. Metal and plastic cages hold heat, so be sure to place a thick blanket on the bottom of
cage and constantly observe the animal.
MAINTENANCE
Clean the hair off the primary filters as needed throughout the day. At the end of the day
vacuum the filters. Once a week remove and wash the primary filters with warm water and
a mild soap, let them dry overnight. Under the primary filter there is a permanently
mounted stainless steel screen filter. This filter will collect dust and dander. To clean it just
turn on the dryer and blow the dust through the screen, it will not damage the dryer.
Replace the primary filters once a year or sooner if needed. NEVER OPERATE THE DRYER
WITHOUT THE PRIMARY FILTERS IN PLACE.
The carbon brushes will need to be replaced between 1 and 2 years depending on use. Use
the brush changing procedure included in this manual or the literature that is furnished
with replacement brushes. All brushes are not the same, be sure to replace them with the
proper type and style. To access the motor remove the bottom cover by removing the
screws, then breaking the seal. This can be done with a utility knife and screwdriver. Insert
the knife blade between the cover and main body of the unit. Move the knife around the
entire unit to cut the seal. After replacing the brushes, per the instructions, put a small
bead of silicone along the edge of the unit then replace the cover. Start all screws before
screwing them tight. After starting all screws, go back around and tighten them down. Let
silicone dry at least 24 hours, and then remove the excess.
